Soul Lift Cacao sources authentic ceremonial cacao through ethical direct trade relationships with indigenous collectives in Latin America. The cacao is made using ancient traditions like toasting cacao seeds (aka “beans”) over wood fire and peeling by hand. This model sends an average of 11x the fair trade rate per pound of cacao back to the source country, and helps to preserve these important traditions. Soul Lift also makes flavored drinking chocolates with the wood fire-roasted cacao, unrefined sweeteners, and different herbs and spices. Come in for a cup of hot or iced cacao!
